Hi everyone! Here is a new, free ear warmer pattern that I came up with, which utilizes the heart stitch. I wanted to create one last valentine inspired item for this month, and I love an ear warmer. It is very easy to follow. You will be working with single crochet, double crochet, and 3 double crochet bobble stitch.
Row 4 may seem complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. I have made a video on my youtube channel that you can check out here.
You are free to use this pattern to create your own Heart Stitch Ear Warmer, but please link back to my blog and give me credit. Please do not post any pictures from my blog, or copy my pattern to yours. You can sell any ear warmers made.
